Huffington Post Calls on Christians to Recognize Muhammad as a Prophet - Robert Spencer

by Robert Spencer

When Leftists ally with Muslims, they begin to proselytize for Islam.

Can you imagine the Huffington Post publishing a series of
articles calling upon Muslims to accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and
Savior? Neither can I. But the HuffPo seems intent on compelling
Christians to accept Muhammad as a prophet. In publishing Craig Considine and now Ian Mevorach
both calling on Christians to accept Muhammad, the Huffington Post
illustrates what happens to Leftists when they ally with Islamic
supremacists: they fall completely under their sway and begin to
proselytize for Islam.

Writes Mevorach: “I do not have space
in this article to explore the many Qur’anic verses directly addressed
to Christians, but if we were to receive them our religion would be
transformed for the better and would come into balance with Judaism and
Islam.”

So apparently the problem in the world today is
Christianity, in being out of “balance” with Judaism and Islam, and that
“balance” can be restored or attained by encouraging Christians to
“receive” the “many Qur’anic verses directly addressed to Christians.”

But Mevorach, a cramped man, does “not have space” to “explore” those
many verses. Mr. Mevorach, I am happy to help. Here are the principal
Qur’an verses regarding Christians:

Jesus is not the Son of
God, belief in the Trinity is “excess”: “O People of the Scripture, do
not commit excess in your religion or say about Allah except the truth.
The Messiah, Jesus, the son of Mary, was but a messenger of Allah and
His word which He directed to Mary and a soul from Him. So believe in
Allah and His messengers. And do not say, ‘Three’; desist — it is better
for you. Indeed, Allah is but one God. Exalted is He above having a
son. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the
earth. And sufficient is Allah as Disposer of affairs.” — Qur’an 4:171

“It is not befitting to (the majesty of) Allah that He should beget a
son. Glory be to Him! when He determines a matter, He only says to it,
‘Be,’ and it is.” — Qur’an 19:35

Jesus was not crucified: “And
because of their saying: We slew the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary,
Allah’s messenger — they slew him not nor crucified him, but it appeared
so unto them; and lo! those who disagree concerning it are in doubt
thereof; they have no knowledge thereof save pursuit of a conjecture;
they slew him not for certain.” — Qur’an 4:157

Those who
believe in the divinity of Christ are “disbelievers”: “They have
certainly disbelieved who say that Allah is Christ, the son of Mary.” —
Qur’an 5:17

Christians “forgot a good part” of the divine revelations they
received: “From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a
covenant, but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent
them: so we estranged them, with enmity and hatred between the one and
the other, to the day of judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it
is they have done.” — Qur’an 5:14

Muslims should not take
Jews or Christians as friends: “O you who believe! do not take the Jews
and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and
whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of
them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” — Qur’an 5:51

Those who believe that Jesus is God’s Son are accursed: “The Jews call
Ezra a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah.
That is a saying from their mouth; they but imitate what the unbelievers
of old used to say. Allah’s curse be on them: how they are deluded away
from the Truth! ” — Qur’an 9:30

Christians who do not become
Muslims “are the most vile of created beings”: “Nor did those who were
given the Scripture become divided until after there had come to them
clear evidence. And they were not commanded except to worship Allah,
sincere to Him in religion, inclining to truth, and to establish prayer
and to give zakah. And that is the correct religion. Indeed, they who
disbelieved among the People of the Scripture and the polytheists will
be in the fire of Hell, abiding eternally therein. Those are the most
vile of created beings.” — Qur’an 98:6

Jesus’ mission was to
proclaim the coming of Muhammad: “And when Jesus, the son of Mary, said,
‘O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you
confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of
a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad.’ But when he came to
them with clear evidences, they said, ‘This is obvious magic.'” —
Qur’an 61:6

Muslims must fight against and subjugate
Christians: “Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor
hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His
Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, even if they are of
the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing
submission, and feel themselves subdued.” — Qur’an 9:29

Ian
Mevorach and the Huffington Post thus contend that if Christians deny
the divinity of Christ and the crucifixion (and hence also the
resurrection and redemption) and accept that those who hold such
doctrines are under a divine curse and must be warred against and
subjugated, their “religion would be transformed for the better.” The
Huffington Post is asking them to abandon traditional Christianity and
embrace Islam – while the reverse call would be unthinkable from them,
and would in fact be denounced as “Islamophobic.”

A prominent
Leftist publication openly proselytizing for Islam – the religion with a
holy book that denies and heaps contempt upon the core doctrines of the
religion that shaped the West’s ideology and identity, and that is best
known for numbering hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of
adherents who hate the West and are determined to destroy it. That’s how
deep the cultural rot goes today.
